Mainstream/establishment media like to hit at Facebook, probably because it is eating their profits. But it's a curious double standard - Twitter and Google allow similar nasty stuff on their platforms too but are being tolerated. Facebook has been chosen as the public enemy No.1. Maybe it's because Facebook prefers profits and is not obeying establishment narratives?
- JumpCrisscross 5y ago> it's a curious double standard - Twitter and Google allow similar nasty stuff on their platforms too but are being tolerated This is a curiously-repeated line. The nastiness isn't the crux of the issue. It's the core of the issue. But what puts Facebook front and centre is its abysmal track record of lying.
- Nasrudith 5y agoGoogle and twitter direct traffic to them and aren't seen as a competitor by most. You can always tell how untrustworthy a news company is when the knives come out against any target who isn't good for their business interests while they lob softball whomever is in power in exchange for access to information they will never even properly cover!
- skinnymuch 5y agoTwitter is literally built on a lie. Their founding story is a a complete lie and disgrace. I am sure Twitter and Google lie just as much.
